Country and City

The opinions about living in the city and country are different. There are advantages and disadvantages in both, so you have to think properly before choosing where to live.

As for me, I prefer living in the country, because it is more comfortable, soothing and the pace of living is slower, than i the city. The air is clean and the neighbours are very friendly, and being close to nature is good for health.

In the mornings you can enjoy the twittering of birds, the smells of flowers and the breathtaking sight of the rising sun. Suburban dwellers are relaxed and have a more optimistic attitude to life and good relationships with other people.

The country habitants enjoy their social life every day: they have dinner with their parents, visit their friends in the evenings, they play games and watch TV together.

It is more difficult to enjoy it all in the city. The pace of living in cities is much faster, than in the country. People loose a lot of time in traffic jams. That is why people who live in cities or towns are more pessimistic and less healthy. However, there are several advantages in living in towns and cities. There are career and study opportunities, there is central heating and running water. Towns and cities attract people of different cultures, so you can have various interesting friends.

Nevertheless, I want to live in the country when I grow up. I will buy a house in the countryside and enjoy my wonderful and healthy life in the village.
